Afanasyev: English Translation?

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

The authoritative English translation is Jack Haney's multivolume set  
put out by M.E. Sharpe.  It is a good and very thorough translation.

Quoting "Jonathan Arthur Carter" <j.carter1 at UNIMELB.EDU.AU>:

> G'day.
>
> The name's Jonathan and I'm developing a theory of names in narrative. And
> to stage contrasts with other theories, I'm analysing 'The Magic
> Swan-Geese': the same tale Vladimir Propp uses in his 'Morphology'.
>
> But I don't have Russian. And I'm embarassed to say I can't locate an
> authoritative translation of Afanasyev's collection. Only a few children's
> versions that vary wildly and cite no sources. So here're my questions.
>
> Is there an authoritative English translation of Afanasyev's main folktale
> collection? Or just that story? In print and/or cyberspace? And if there
> is, what is it?
>
> Hoping for help, and here in Australia, praying for rain!
